| Abstract |
A new pig kidney cell line, IB-RS-11, and 6 cell strains derived
therefrom, are described. After 17 months of continuous culture, without
antibiotics, the cell line showed to belong to a diploid chromosome level
but, apparently, two chromosome deletions created two markers. The cell
line and its strains are shown to be susceptible to two cloned strains of
FMD-V, although differences of susceptibility and permissivity were
observed among the cell strains. Besides, results obtained suggest that
the new cell line and AgC-19, a cytopathogenic strain of HCV, constitute a
cell-virus system worthy of further studies.
